Alright, brave souls who have ventured this
far. My brain does not work like the average human brain. I
make every single decision, judgement, and life affecting decision, etc.
by removing myself from the chains of society and deciding what the logical
decision would be. This is a difficult thing to do for two reasons:
1) it is extremely difficult to decipher what beliefs one has are irrational
and silly things placed in their brain over the lifelong brain washings
they have experienced 2) in removing oneself from society to make decisions,
they may find that a decision in opposition to what they are “supposed
to do” can be met with negative attention. Therefore in order to
do this one must prepare themselves for the reactions that may be harsh
enough to send some into a padded room for a few years. I have not
perfected the art of societal removal, but I try my best. I do not
shave my legs because there is not logical reason to do this and I am sick
of repeatedly cutting my terribly sensitive and fair legs in order to complete
such a pointless task. For those wondering, I do shave my armpits
because I find anti-perspirant is less affective with the excess material
in the way and I do not care to smell the results. Continuing on
to less superficial things, here is a convenient list on my stance, I plan
on adding to this as I think of things.
Religion: I am Pagan. First of all,
I must clear things up immediately for those who carry misconceptions with
them. If you think Pagans are simply cultists, devil worshipers,
and/or people who sacrifice animals: you are mistaken. Every religion
has its cultists and bad apples. Pagan beliefs do not include a devil
and though your beliefs may include a devil as well as a God who states
no others shall be worshiped aside from him, mine do not. Pagan beliefs
include the utmost respect for life around them including creatures as
well as plants therefore sacrificing would present a dilemma. An important
belief that most Pagans hold is that what one gives in their actions they
will receive back to them three-fold. This means that for every good
thing I do, somehow I will be rewarded; yet this goes the same way for
harmful deeds. I believe very strongly that religion is made up of belief
and that most of us are worshiping the same thing/s in different ways.
I am very against enforcing religious beliefs on children in public schools
and weary of children being very involved in religion at young ages.
Public schools are places for children of all backgrounds; they should
not be forced into the extremely awkward position of praising a god or
gods they do not believe in. As for the involvement of young children
in religion, I believe this borders on brainwashing. However, parents
cannot keep children completely removed from religion unless they hide
it. The last thing this society needs is complete religious repression.
Therefore I do not see a problem with minimal involvement. However, children
should not be forced to take on such deep beliefs, but should be educated
on the religions of the world and allowed to making their own educated
decisions at an age where they feel they are ready to make a decision of
that magnitude.
Human Race: I will not argue those who
believe differences exist between races, however I believe these distinctions
should be celebrated. I see nothing wrong with inter-racial relationships,
for those who worry about the extinction of the <insert color here>
race, read on. First of all, nowhere near enough interracial relationships
exist to lead to this. Second of all, though the color of the skin
will change, the history remains and can be passed down from one generation
to the next. Biracial kids have incredibly interesting family histories
on both sides that can only make them stronger. I consider people who worry
about the disappearance of a certain color of people due to interracial
growth to be shallow. People are not clothes and should not be judged
based on something as superficial as color. I stick strongly to the belief
that the actions make the person. This will sound off the wall and
I do not mean to say that I want to see the eradication of all races, but
the more biracial this society becomes the more racism will look like an
ugly blotch on the human historical record. With so many people who
contain so many different cultures in them, little room would be left for
one to judge someone of a different color because they risk sharing something
in common with the background of the person they choose to insult.
Sexuality: As a bisexual, I find this
is a good place to address several misconceptions about bisexuals that
come from straight and gay people. We are not always horny and do
not constantly need both sexes to keep us satisfied. Sexuality is
something different for every person. For me, bisexuality means that I
am attracted to both sexes physically as well as emotionally. This
does not mean I am attracted to everything I see, most straight people
will agree that they are not attracted to everyone of the opposite sex
and most gay people would not say that they are attracted to everyone of
the same sex. I am not attracted to everyone as common stereotype of bisexuals
misleads people to believe. As far as the debate on whether sexuality
is a biological or learned behavior, this can vary. I know of feminine
gay men (for those who love stereotypes, not all gay men are feminine)
who exhibited behavior that suggested they were gay, or at least different,
as young as the age of five. This is not to say that some individuals
have not chosen the gay lifestyle, certainly some people for some reason
may have found some kind of allure in it. In my case, I believe I
have always been bisexual. From the time I first found males attractive
I also had this slight attraction for females that I kept hidden deep within
me for fear that I was some kind of pervert. My family never raised
me to believe this; however, I had heard comments from ignorant kids around
me that led me to believe this. Every time I heard an opinion expressed
from a junior high friend that proclaimed how disgusting gay people were
I felt that something was terribly wrong with me and I had to hide every
ounce of attraction to people of the same sex. Slowly through high
school I realized this was not correct and what I was feeling was quite
natural and normal. By the time I reached college I decided it was
time to be more open about whom I was so that I could go through the exploration
I had been denied previously.
Alas you have reached then end. Hope it was at
least interesting.
